The days had slipped by in a haze of hospital visits and anxiety.Meera remained in the hospital, her condition is still uncertain, while the rest of the family tried to cope with the stress. At home, Shalini had been a great support for Vaidehi, who was feeling the weight of the situation more acutely with each passing day. When shalini was supposed to go to hospital, Vikramaditya used to stay with Vaidehi. 

..............

One evening, Gayathri walked into the living room with an air of determination. She had clearly been preparing for something and her demeanor was resolute.

( Gayathri : Vaidehi , neetho koncham maatladali ! ) 

Gayathri : Vaidehi, we need to talk ! 

 Gayathri said abruptly and her tone is leaving a little room for discussion.

Vaidehi who was sitting with Shalini looked up with a puzzled face .

( Vaidehi : Sarey athamma ! Dheeni gurinchi ? ) 

Vaidehi : Yes athamma ! About what ? 

Gayathri took a deep breath.

( Gayathri : Neeku seemantham jarapaali anukuntunnaanu. Adhi chaala mukhyamaina aanavaayithi. Nuvvu ee kutumbhaniki modati vaarasudini / vaarasuraalini ivvabothunnav. Idhi manam veduka laa jarapaalsindhey. ) 

Gayathri : I've decided we're going to have a baby shower for you. It's an important family tradition, and you're about to give birth to  my first grandchild. We need to celebrate.

Vaidehi's expression shifted to concern. 

( Vaidehi : Naaku seemantham jarapadam mukhyamainadhi ani telusu kaani ippudu meera hospital lo undhi. Ee sandharbham lo jarapadam sarainadhi kaadhu anipistundhi. Manam tana recovery gurinchi alochinchaali. ) 

Vaidehi : I understand the importance of a baby shower, but with Meera still in the hospital, it doesn't seem appropriate to celebrate right now. We should focus on her recovery.

Gayathri's face tightened and her voice took on a sharper edge. 

( Gayathri : Vaidehi ! Nuvvu ee Vamshaaniki modati vaarasudu / vaarasuraali ni mosthunnav. Idhi chaala mukhyamaina vishayam. Edho jariginandhuku mana sampradhaayalani marchipothaama ? ) 

Gayathri : Vaidehi, you're carrying the first heir of our family. This is a major event and we can't just ignore it because of some inconvenience. This tradition must be honored.

Vaidehi's face flushed with a mix of hurt and frustration. 

( Vaidehi : Nenu saampradhaayalani marchipodham anadam ledhu. Kaani manam unna paristhithi ni artham chesukovaali. Meera paristhithi vishamam ga undhi , ilaanti sandharbham lo manam santosham ga elaa vedhuka chesukuntam. ) 

Vaidehi : It's not about ignoring the tradition. It's about respecting the situation. Meera is in a critical condition, and holding a big celebration now feels wrong.

Gayathri's irritation was palpable. 

( Gayathri : Nuvvu mari sensitive ga alochistunnav. Manam konni vishayaalanu pattukoni akkade aagipovaddhu. Mundhuku saaguthu undaali. ) 

Gayathri : You're being overly sensitive. We have to move forward and acknowledge the new life coming into our family. This is how it's always been, and I won't have it any other way.

Vaidehi's eyes welled up with tears. She tried to keep her composure, but the hurt was evident. 

Vaidehi : Hmm.
